Background: The coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor (CAR) acts as a docking factor during infection. Results: Adenovirus fiber knob induces CAR internalization via a pathway involving lipid microdomain integrity, actin dynamics, and dynamin. Conclusion: In neurons, CAR is linked to endocytic pathways that could modulate its function or regulate viral infection. Significance: Learning how viruses use receptors to enter and spread in the nervous system. © 2014 by The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc.
